Sorry, at work so I’m not able to test much right now. That said, this should definitely go in your functions.php file.

Try this –

add_action( 'init', 'jobman_rewrite' );
function jobman_rewrite() {
	global $wp_rewrite;
	flush_rewrite_rules();
}

Hmm, that’s pretty odd.

Sorry, let me clarify about what I had to confirm it was working:

Before adding my own job solution to the mix, I already had a custom post type called “offers” for an Offer feature. I added that code I mentioned to my offer post type and saw that the plugin was then functioning properly.

When I decided to go with a custom solution, I made my own post type called “jobs,” and added the aforementioned code there instead. I thought that it was because of my own post types that the plugin wasn’t working. (I had tried adding the job manager to a different multisite on another host without any other post types added and got it working properly.)

As for the “too late” statement, I’m referring to the fact that the post types are not being registered in your functions file and I believe that code I gave you needs to be attached to the same call that registers the post type in the first place. That said, you should be able to do it just for one of the post types (‘jobman_job,’ ‘jobman_app,’ whatever) and it would affect all of them.

To confirm that you’re having the same problem I was, add this to your functions file:

add_action( 'init', 'flush_rewrite_rules' );
function flush_rewrite_rules() {
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

(Don’t keep this in here after you confirm whether or not it works – this uses up a lot of resources.)

If the plugin is working, then we are having the same issue and the developer should probably add a flush rules to the plugin. If not, then we have separate issues.

Also, a few things to try:

* Login with an adminstrator account
* Install and activate the plugin
* Visit your permalinks page before adding any jobs. You shouldn’t need to do anything – visiting with an admin account should flush the rewrite rules.
* Add a job.

If that doesn’t work, try the same process but change your permalinks to default and then save them to your preferred pretty permalink set up.

If that still doesn’t work, you’re going to need to add in a function to rewrite the rules.

Apologies for the late update to this but, just in case anyone is having similar issues, I wanted to share what ended up solving the problem.

As I was sure of, this had nothing to do with the plugin, but my permalinks – I needed to flush the rewrite rules.

Knowing that flush_rewrite_rules is quite taxing, I searched around for a way to only call it upon activation.

(Note: Unfortunately, the way WordPress’ Function Reference described didn’t seem to work for me.)

Luckily, I found Ohad Raz’s post and added the following lines to my C.P.T. function (‘jobs’ being my custom post type):

$set = get_option('post_type_rules_flased_jobs');
if ($set !== true){
   flush_rewrite_rules(false);
   update_option('post_type_rules_flased_jobs',true);
}

…and all was well.

While I ended up not using the plugin, I did confirm that doing this did make the plugin function properly.

Hopefully this proves helpful to someone else!
